I'm not saying umpire was right or wrong, but it was within the rules. Seems to me the batter was trying to control the situation...not allowing the pitcher to begin pitch until they are ready. Not sure what to do in this situation, except encourage batter to move a little closer.
If umpire feels the batter is delaying the game, or making a travesty of the game, they could envoke that rule.
If batter is taking foot out of batters box every pitch, could warn the envoke that rule too. (does anyone every call that?)
